COMPANY NEWS;TRIMBLE NAVIGATION STOCK FALLS ON HALT OF SHIPMENTS

Dow Jones
The stock of Trimble Navigation Ltd. fell yesterday on news that the company had temporarily halted shipments of a satellite navigation system to the American Mobile Satellite Corporation. Trimble, which is based in Sunnyvale, Calif., said late on Monday that the halt was caused by delays in American Mobile's development of a gateway used to send data from Trimble's Galaxy/GPS land mobile satellite communications terminals to American Mobile's satellite systems. Trimble's terminals are used by trucking companies, railroads and others for tracking their fleets by satellite. The halting of shipments will cut Trimble's earnings in the fourth quarter by about 12 cents a share, the company said. Last year, earnings in the period were 15 cents a share. The shares of Trimble fell $2.875 yesterday, to $17.875, in Nasdaq trading.
